I'm purchasing a new build house in Sharnbrook benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead.

If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
